Minnesota regained home ice advantage in the first round of the NHL playoffs once morest St. Louis. The Wild went on to win 5-1 on the Blues ice to lead 2-1 in the series. However, St. Gallen striker Kevin Fiala has still not unlocked his counter in these series.
Both authors of a goal and an assist, Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek were the main guarantors of the success of the Wild, which was also able to count on a solid Marc-André Fleury in front of his net (29 saves).
Boston returns to the series
Nino Niederreiter, who had scored 3 goals in the first 2 games of the series between Carolina and Boston, also remained “mute” on Friday. And the Hurricanes lost 4-2 on the ice of the Bruins, who thus returned to 2-1 in this 1st round of the Eastern Conference.
